Family rallies to remember DeAndre DeAngelo Williams who was gunned down one year ago


One year ago DeAndre DeAngelo Williams was gunned down outside of the Sandtrap Nightclub and to this day police still don’t have a suspect.

Family and close friends gathered at his grave site to say a prayer, share kind words, and release balloons in his honor.  The group says the motion of letting go of balloons flying up to heaven helps bring some closure to them as they still struggle to deal with his death. 

Family friend Peggy Lyons says she hopes by this time next year the family will have full closure by an arrest.  “The family has been through much this last year and they would appreciate anyone that has any information would come forward and get the police involved so that we can get an answer to this tragic situation that happened to this family.

If you have any information you can call the Albany Police Department at 229-431-2100 or anonymously leave a tip at 229-436-8477.
